Who does Goldstein say Big Brother is in Part 2, Chapter 9 of 1984?

comes across
this information during his perusal of Emmanuel Goldsteins book, which he got hold of via
OBriens arrangements. Big Brother is an entity through which the Party has personified itself in
order to elicit desired responses from the people because human beings would relate more to
another human being as opposed to a faceless organization. Therefore, Big Brother is not an
actual person but rather a face that depicts the Partys utmost ideals. Big Brother is the leader
of the Party and positioned at the very peak of the hierarchical structure of Oceania. In this
societys structure, Big Brother is followed by the Inner Party, the Outer Party and the proles
respectively. Big Brother is perfect in all his ways; he is omniscient, omnipresent, and
immortal among other admirable qualities.
